Punishing Even on Reconnects?

I was recently in my promos and my computer disconnected from the internet, i reconnected to the game as soon as possible, maybe 5 or 7 minutes max. I get back into the game, farm up and we win the game. In the post game lobby, i get no xp, a 5 game leaverbuster penalty, and the game still counts as a loss in my series even though i won the game and reconnected. The system to detect and punish afks is appreciated, but it needs to realize when i reconnect and withhold the punishment, or at least give me credit for the win i definitively helped secure upon my reconnect.

This has been a problem, and been brought up, for a long time. They don't seem to care. It's only happened to me about twice, but ~75% of the time it takes me to reconnect is the garbage client trying to figure out if it needs to patch or not.

Doesn't even require a disconnect. If the system considers you AFK it will snatch your rewards.

Riots servers are absoloutly junk at times and can d/c people for no reason, and then they issue punishments for that d/c. Its a joke thats been going on for a long time. No idea if they ever will address this as they are too bust concentrating on the high priority tournaments and players.
